I like that logic, Harris in heat 5 against Lawson, Howarth in heat 9 against Rowe. Flint can only go in heat 12, so Barker in heat 3. Harris gets a two-on-the-trot, but none of the other 3 do.

Barker is a big upgrade on Boughen. Don't think r/r should awaken Glasgow too much, but may score a point or two less than Dan T would've. On paper could be a big win, but Glasgow's weak reserves could keep it closer. Mind Starke & Ritchings aren't the strongest of opposition, so who knows?

Because Cami the team manager knows what he's doing (never thought I'd say that). r/r at 2 means Chris Harris in heat 8 - waste of your top riders' extra ride coming against a reserve & second string imo

Starke would be eligible for the NDL/NDT if he didn't have a Champ spot. Maybe that could be the reason given for him being allowed to ride? He's in a similar situation to Ben Morley, if Morley signed for a Champ team, he'd have to give up his NDT team spot. Maybe that's the logic if Morley can ride, Starke can too?

With Vuolas being second in the averages, r/r should cover well. Gives the Comets riders an extra ride to impress & stave off being dropped, with the poor start to the season they've had a great many could be under the threat of the sack.

So Mark Parker is still in the Monarchs team despite a couple of people seemingly adamant I was being foolish for my comments about his inclusion! Is my point relevant now by any chance? Anyone care to admit they were wrong?
